Tagged by @elfenana (thanks for the tag!)
are you staying home from work/school?
Yes but school in particular still has its claws sunken deep into me thru technological means and itâs demoralizingggg! To say the least. The least...
if you are staying home, who is with you?
Parents and siblings. Totally paradisiacal state of affairs hahaha đ (half Kidding. It has its perks)
are you a homebody?
I thought so but quarantine is giving me much to think about. I mean probably yes I am but I have limits! I know because I keep smacking into them latelyâđ˝
an event that you were looking forward to that got cancelled?
Just. So many now cancelled plans with friends, most who live out of state. Theyâre in the same state now and it makes no difference! Sucks but oh well
what movies have you watched recently?
None...Iâve been wanting to watch some quite a lot lately. Like the new Evergarden movie, some ghibli ones I havenât seen before, Perfect Blue, the RDJ Holmes movies etc etc.
what music are you listening to?
Ahh for best results scroll thru my âtagged inâ tag (easy to find bc the post youâre reading atm is tagged w that very tag!) Iâve been filling out a lot of music related tag memes lately. Recently discovered Tape Five and Caro Emerald, so thatâs arguably what Iâve been listening to most often.
what are you reading?
Tough question. Technically Iâm reading Bound by @pinkafropuffs (highly recommend if you like fun!!), Sourdough by Robin Sloan, The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes and a few other titles but 1) my attention span is more broken than usual 2) TIME!! I can barely manage it anymore and I need to prioritize the most excruciatingly boring and painful things first before I can chill and read HSIDJS!! đđđđ
what are you doing for self care?
Iâm doing a lot of stuff to make myself feel better lately but is any of it good for me? Much to deliberately avoid thinking about. (Lots of caffeine, lots of screentime, lots of panicking silently as I stare off into space) oh wait!! Iâve been in extremely good contact with friends! Thatâs a Good Thing I do because I Care. Gold star for me: đ! đ¤
Tagging: if you see this and want to do it please do!! And tag me too! :D

Book ask meme!
Thanks, @ennisgarlaend, for the tag! This is my kind of meme. <3
1. Which book has been on your shelves the longest? I guess that would be a book from my childhood that is now on my kidsâ shelves? Theyâve got a bunch of my old Dr. Seuss books, and Gordon Korman, and some choose-your-own-adventures. OH! Maurice Sendack: In the Night Kitchen. And some great Mercer Meyer books that are falling apart. Those must be the oldest.
2. What is your current read, your last read and the book youâll read next? Current: The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy Last: White City by Roma Tearne Next: I might reread The Left Hand of Darkness, or maybe Wolf Winter by Cecilia Ekback.
3. Which book does everyone like and you hated? Well, I donât know about âeveryone.â But Iâm a Victorianist and I hate Dickens. So.Â
4. Which book do you keep telling yourself youâll read, but you probably wonât? Moby Dick. And Madame Bovary in French. Itâs been 25 years.
5. Which book are you saving for âretirement?â Iâve got a few on reserve for emergencies. Dorothy Sayersâ Strong Poison is one. Hilary Mantelâs Bring up the Bodies is another. I donât know that Iâll wait for retirement, but itâll probably be a while...
6. Last page: read it first or wait till the end? WAIT. Omg. Wait.
7. Acknowledgements: waste of ink and paper or interesting aside? Almost always read them looking for familiar names. Almost never find familiar names.
8. Which book character would you switch places with? Jeeves. Lucy Snow.
9. Do you have a book that reminds you of something specific in your life (a person, a place, a time)? Goodness, many. Many many many many.
10. Name a book you acquired in some interesting way. I cannot think of a single interesting story. I might be a boring book shopper, or just very forgetful.
11. Have you ever given away a book for a special reason to a special person? Sure, lots. When I got my PhD, I wanted to have a prescription pad printed up so I could prescribe books to people who needed them. I still would like to have this power, haha.
12. Which book has been with you to the most places? My paperback 2 volume complete Sherlock Holmes has gone with me everywhere Iâve ever lived. Thatâs 4 countries, plus many trips.
13. Any ârequired readingâ you hated in high school that wasnât so bad ten years later? I donât recall hating any high school readings, but there were some things we read then that I havenât fully appreciated until later. Margaret Laurenceâs The Stone Angel is one.
14. What is the strangest item youâve ever found in a book? Canât think of a thing.
15. Used or brand new? Both. I like used best, though. I like books that have lived lives already before they come to me.
16. Stephen King: Literary genius or opiate of the masses? I mean... both? Why not both? I love The Shining, but his other stuff isnât my cup of tea.
17. Have you ever seen a movie you liked better than the book? Surely, but Iâm drawing a blank...
18. Conversely, which book should NEVER have been introduced to celluloid? Again, blank...Â
19. Have you ever read a book thatâs made you hungry, cookbooks being excluded from this question? Toast by Nigel Slater. Among many. I love a good foodie memoir. I like Anthony Bourdainâs stuff, too. Some stuff about Escoffier. Margaret Visserâs social histories of food.
20. Who is the person whose book advice youâll always take?@unreconstructedfangirl and @redscudery, to start.

Questions for writers: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 15, 20, 22, 30, 37, 47, 50, 54!
From the Questions for Writers meme. You want to know it all, eh? Hope I can do these questions justice!
5. Books or authors that influenced your style the most.
Idk if The Wheel of Time was formative in the creation of my style, but Margaret Atwoodâs The Handmaidâs Tale definitely was. And Oryx and Crake, definitely. I hope Keri Hulmeâs The Bone People might also make it in there (if you wanna read it, be warned thereâs some heavy child abuse in there, but also a character who refers to herself as ace and neuter, which basically made my head explode because I never thought Iâd see that in a book written before the oughts).
6. Favorite character you ever created.
Victor Trevor, of Sherlock Holmes fame, a joint production with my dear, dear friend @neurotoxia. In my book, he counts as OC because Doyle gave us about as much information about him as Stiefvater gave us on Skov, Jiang and Swan, maybe less.
7. Favorite author.
Margaret Atwood. Brandon Sanderson might make it in there, too, but Iâve only read 2/3 of Mistborn and the books he wrote to finish The Wheel of Time. (Also answered here.)
8. Favorite trope to write.
Pining, mutually unrequited, âletâs fuck but pretend to not care about each other and denying weâre developing feels,â Itâs all very predictable. I would like to say Fake Relationship, but I donât think Iâve written that yet, despite many ideas that would fall under this category.
9. Least favorite trope to write.
None comes to mind right away. Basically, I want to be open and try everything at least once? In some fandoms, certain tropes are basically canon and so itâs easier for me to (potentially) write. (The DCU is a prime example of this. I feel like I could make enverything work there and it wouldnât be any weirder than whatâs already canon.)Â
I guess there are some overdone ones as found on trope-bingo that I wouldnât particularly care for (huddle for warmth eg), but with the right pairing and scenario Iâd still want to write it *shrugs*
15. Where does your inspiration come from?
I answered something similar here. In general, from everything that has words or images that give me character vibes. Also, discussing ideas with fandom friends. Or, apparently, as I learned today, from tumblr posts that delineate a pairing idea. (AU prompts have worked in the past, but this was new.)
20. Post a snippet of a WIP youâre working on.
Canât wait, huh? I was gonna post snippets at the end of the month. But youâre interest warms my heart.
âHereâs the deal, sweetheart, since Iâm in a generous mood: Whatever you want me to do to you, Iâll do it.â Thereâs a dramatic pause as he takes another drag from his cigarette, letting his statement work inside you. âAll you have to do is say it out loud.â
His eyes are glassy and his smile is like water, liquid-soft at first but able to erode you with time.
âSound good?â
22. How many drafts do you need until youâre satisfied and a project is ultimately done for you?
I cannot tell you that because I rarely ever finish a thing and then go back to editing. I can spend weeks searching for a first sentence that will get the ball rolling. I can edit the beginning every time I go over it while searching for a way to continue where Iâm stuck. I can throw out entire paragraphs and rewrite the scenes because theyâre not working. It all depends on how long the thing Iâm writing is, when it needs to be finished, and how dear to my heart this thing is. Iâve been known to rush endings and post things the moment they were done, because oh dang, look at the time, the day is almost over and that stupid challenge ends today.
Iâd say, in general three. One in which I finish, no matter how often Iâve changed things before I wrote what I consider to be the final sentence. One in which I go over that and edit everything that sounds off, and another in which I check that Iâve made no mistakes in that previous revision.Â
Bear in mind that my average length is 1-2k. I have an 8k WIP in which I rewrote the beginning at least four times and then decided to trash the entire beast because it wasnât working. And now Iâm trying to start over.
30. Favorite line youâve ever written.
Iâd have to go back and re-read all my fic which would take entirely too long given that Iâm a snail of a reader, but I can tell you what my favourite alliteration is:
a coarse conglomerate of country bumpkins
from The Chrysanthemum Vow (Gintama) and referring to the Shinsengumi. That fic is from 2013 and even though my English may have been wobbly at times, I still think I havenât written any better.
37. Most inspirational quote youâve ever read or heard thatâs still important to you.
Harrumph, Iâm sure I answered this somewhere but of course I cannot find it now. (Okay, I was probably thinking of this, but the quotes donât pertain to writing.)
Sorry, I got nothing.
47. Do you start with characters or plot when working on a new story?
Considering I only write fanfic, I have to start with the characters?
50. Weirdest story idea youâve ever had.
My ideas donât feel as wild as some that are out there, but I guess a Christmas AU with the cast of characters as reluctant Santa and his hard-working elves? Written way back in 08.
54. Any writing advice you want to share?
Dude, I barely know what Iâm doing. Thereâs no advice to be gleaned from me. So Iâm going to refer you to Stephen King, who in his memoir On Writing said to first write your story with the door closed (i.e. let no one see it) and when itâs finished edit with your door open.

BBC 100 Books meme
Was tagged by @javistg and @thegreatorangedragon for this memeÂ
Of course, film adaptations donât count (To Kill a Mockingbird, Oliver Twist, etc); nor does reading only a couple chapters before I felt like clawing my brains out of boredom (A Tale of Two Cities, Moby Dick, etc).
And no, watching the Wishbone version doesnât count either. If that was the case, my elementary school years would have satisfied a considerable chunk of this list. Good times...

BBC 100 books tag
So thereâs this fun ask meme going around (thanks for the tag, @papofglencoe and @javistg! âşď¸) that says: âBBC estimates that most people will only read 6 books out of the 100 listed below. Bold the ones youâve read. (And/or italicize the ones on your reading list.)â Turns out, according to this site: âInterestingly, the BBC never actually made this declaration. The list was created by an unknown individual and spread around the internet as a meme called The BBC Book List Challenge. It was probably loosely based on another list of books that was the result of a survey carried out in 2003 by the BBC in which three quarters of a million people voted to find the nationâs best-loved novels of all time.â And according to this poster: âThe average Goodreads member has read 23 out of 100 books on this list.â Link to BBCâs The Big Read: âIn April 2003 the BBCâs Big Read began the search for the nationâs best-loved novel, and we asked you to nominate your favourite books.â
My husband (not even an English major) crushed me. Heâs read all but 32 of these!Â

BBC 100 Books meme
Yay books! That said, what a strange collection of books this is. I feel like it must have been compiled to create some sort of psychological assessment: classic childrenâs books + classically scandalized women + classic governmental paranoia (and Shakespeare for legitimization...) = ??Â
I might be the last person to do this. Thanks for the tags, @papofglencoe and @xerxia31â! I adore all opportunities to talk about books! If anyone else wants to do this, tag, youâre it!
BBC 100 Books Tag
BBC estimates that most people will only read 6 books out of the 100 listed below. Bold the ones youâve read. (AND/OR ITALIC THE ONES ON YOUR READING LIST)

Rebecca - Daphne Du Maurier â¨The Hobbit - JRR Tolkien Birdsong - Sebastian Faulk Catcher in the Rye - JD Salinger The Time Travellerâs Wife - Audrey Niffenegger Middlemarch - George Eliot Gone With The Wind - Margaret Mitchell The Great Gatsby - F Scott Fitzgerald Bleak House - Charles Dickens â¨War and Peace - Leo Tolstoy The Hitchhikerâs Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams Brideshead Revisited - Evelyn Waugh Crime and Punishment - Fyodor Dostoyevsky Grapes of Wrath - John Steinbeck (love all things Steinbeck) Alice in Wonderland - Lewis Carroll The Wind in the Willows - Kenneth Grahame Anna Karenina - Leo Tolstoy David Copperfield - Charles Dickens Chronicles of Narnia - CS Lewis Emma - Jane Austen Persuasion - Jane Austen â¨The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe - CS Lewis (redundant from CON?)

I saw this going around and thought...why not? Thought my list will probably be kind of sad. Not because I donât read, I just read less popular things. And well, I also blame the Florida education system. (Side Note: Why is The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe AND The Chronicles of Narnia listed as two separate things? Isnât  TLTWATW part of the Chronicles of Narnia? Also this goes for Hamlet, being that itâs part of the Complete Works of Shakespeare. Iâm confused.)
